Bitcoin wallet unlock

I do not want to rain on your parade, but this may be hard to do. These wallets are made with the idea that outsiders will not get into them.

You could try to brute force the login, but it may take longer than a lifespan to break. However, here is something that you may consider. If you have a known rule-set for your password generation, you can substantially eliminate the possibilities in your brute force attack.

I am speculating that your passwords are complex, but there may be hope here based on the fact that password generation is not truly random. Because of this fact, there are rules that you (as the password generator) or a program like keepass (as the password generator) usually follow.

We really need more information to make an informed suggestion, but let me give you a couple scenarios.

If you create your own passwords:

• Do you use spaces? Usually this is a yes or no for most people.
• Is there a special character that you tend to focus on? Does it occur at a particular place (i.e. at the end)
• Do you use words or phrases or is it always random?
• What is the range of characters in your passwords? (i.e. Always type 6-10 characters).

If you use a generator for your passwords, there may be rulesets in place that help you eliminate possibilities:

• Look at the number of characters allowed.
• Are letters, upper case, lower case, numbers etc. required?
• Are special characters allowed?

After you have answered this, and similar questions, you can begin to chip away at the total possible entries. So let us say you force at least one number and one capital letter and one special symbol and is 10 characters in length. Now, you can eliminate all possibilities that do not follow that pattern. You will not use brute force for any 9 character string, anything without a symbol, etc. Your possible result set can be reduced substantially because you inherently know the algorithm you use for password generation.
